The angles opp to equal sides are equal. Hence angles B and C equal.
as AD is an altitude, angles ADB and ADC are 90° so equal. Considering triangle ADB, tanB=AD/BD => BD= AD/tanB; now in triangle ADC, tanC= AD/DC => DC= AD/tanC= AD/tanB (since B=C) therefore, BD = DC which shows that AD bisects BC. Hence verified
